I chased a storm to Grafton which although small had some nice structure. Early on when it was west of Corindai it seemed to have a wall cloud structure?
Later the storm was holding solid structure near Grafton.
I then made my way back down the coast to Woolgoolga and intercepted this monster shelf! Heard reports of strong winds and hail from this further down the coast.
so epic
Nice structures Kane – shelf clouds and updraft structures. Well done! Any size in the hail?

Here is some footage from the Grafton/wooli storm. Jimmy I was talking to a guy on Woolgoolga headland who told me he heared a report of hail from his cb radio somewhere south of Coffs. He didnt say how big however.

Awesome stuff Kane, well captured.
You didn’t happen to be around Coffs during that right moving supercell on the 11th February did you? I have only seen one video of it, from Grafton, and the lightning rates in it were incredible.
Hey ben, I did photograph that storm actually, Ill make report for that too, although my shots arent the greatest as I was at woolgoolga again but on the crappy side for stucture. The lightning rates were crazy in that storm although I only could see cc due to low clouds obscuring my view.
I happened to be passing the same area and managed to snap a few pics. The storm certianly seemed to organise nicely once it came off the ranges, glad you were able to get some footage Kane
over ranges west of coffs
